Auburn’s new “recreation-meets-mentoring” youth program introduces at-risk youth to meaningful life skills, enrichment, leisure, and recreation opportunities.
With a focus on opioid intervention, this program will connect at-risk youth with a positive, committed mentor in a welcoming, safe location - the Auburn PAL Center.
Mentees will feel empowered to make positive life choices and learn from trained mentors’ experience, knowledge and encouragement. Supportive adult and community influences will enable participants to set and reach personal and academic goals and prioritize health lifestyle choices.
